She clawed her way to the top
Her hands laced in pain
Clumps of soil blurred her vision
Her lungs bursting to breathe again
Finally she did break free
And she stumbled to her feet
Taking stock of her surroundings
Feeling the night's balmy heat
Her mind was all a jitter
She tried hard to set it straight
She was trying desperately to think
But the fear she just could not abate
How, Where, When and Why
Were questions running through her head
She remembered jumping into nothing
So shouldn't she be dead
She felt the ground beneath her feet
She felt the beads of sweat on her brow
She felt pain and sorrow in her very soul
So this must be the here and now
Maybe I can go back
To that place of rest and peace
Or was that too – in my imaginings
The place where pain did cease
I wander through the streets this night
Feeling so lost and so alone
A face forms in my mind
His name escapes my lips - I groan
Now I know where I belong
And where my heart needs me to be
His dear sweet face I must behold
And in his embrace I will again be me
So I'll take the first car I see
And head on out of here
In two hours I will be there
And love will replace my fear
I feel the tingle in my soul
That tells me he is here
The stairs and hall are dimly lit
As to my love I draw ever near
I turn the handle of his door
And push it open wide
Am I doing the right thing
And I push my doubts aside
I smile to see him sitting
With my picture in his hands
A tear runs down his face
He looks at me and he stands
My heart breaks when he turns from me
But then I hear his deep voice say
"You're wearing a different dress tonight
But you came again - so it's okay"
He thinks I am just a vision
Coming nightly to ease his pain
And as I walk toward him
I tell him I am home again
I see his shock at my speaking
And he falls silently into the chair
I sit down on his lap where I belong
And run my fingers through his hair
He doesn't care about the answers
As he grabs me and holds me tight
And as I feel our arms entwining
I know this is just so perfectly right
Tomorrow we will talk it out
But for now I am where I must be
He is mine and I am his once more
And this is true for all eternity.
